A uniform 6-m high, 10-m wide (into the page) rectangular gate is hinged at Point A. The right side of the gate is exposed to the atmosphere while the left side is partially covered by 2 different fluids (oil as top layer and water as bottom layer). The free surface of the oil is 1 m below the hinge at Point A. The oil layer (SG = 0.8) is 2-m thick while the water layer is 3-m thick. Assuming the...
